ENGIE denies having received any State aid from Luxembourg

ENGIE takes note of the European Commission’s decision issued today against Luxembourg. The latter relates to two tax rulings dated 2008 and 2010 regarding the tax treatment of the financing operations of the group’s activities in Luxembourg.

ENGIE has fully complied with the applicable tax legislation and considers that it has not benefited from a State aid. In addition, ENGIE was transparent by requesting, from the Luxembourg authorities, a ruling confirming its correct interpretation of Luxembourg law.

ENGIE will assert all its rights to challenge the State aid classification considering that the Commission did not demonstrate that a selective tax advantage was granted. Therefore, ENGIE will apply for annulment of this Commission’s decision before the competent courts.

ENGIE remains confident that this announcement will have no impact on its 2018 results.
